Angel With Jessica Winterstern on Dancing With Grief, Navigating Conflict and Living With an Open Heart. - a podcast by Angelika Alana - Lit Up for Life

Today's episode I sat down with Jessica Winterstern, a dear soul sister full of wisdom. We went deep on the tender dance of grief as Jessica shares her experience losing her Mother to early onset alzheimer's. We also discuss sacred partnership, using sacred intimacy as a healing space and bouncing back from conflicts in a conscious way.   

Jessica received her Bachelor of Science, in Applied Psychology from NYU, her Masters in Education., in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard, and an M.A., in Applied and Spiritual Psychology with an emphasis on Consciousness, Health and Healing from University of Santa Monica. Through her work with world-renowned authors, philosophers and teachers, David Deida, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, David Whyte and Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick, she has become an expert in relational dynamics, sacred intimacy, love and loss. Through her guidance, she helps women reconnect to their fundamental wholeness, power and strength.
